LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF
Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Bill
INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 22 March 2005, the Council ADVISED and the Acting Chief Executive ORDERED that the Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Bill (the Bill), A at Annex A, should be introduced into the Legislative Council to ensure that the control regime of Hong Kong fully complies with the requirements of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
JUSTIFICATIONS 2. CITES imposes different export and import controls according to the AppendicesNote 1 in which a species is listed. The Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance (Cap. 187) (“the Ordinance”) gives effect to CITES in Hong Kong. It requires a licence to be issued by the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation for the import, export or possession of all scheduled species unless exempted. Some local control measures, especially those in respect of the import of scheduled species other than the highly endangered species (i.e. CITES Appendix I species) and possession of all scheduled species, are more stringent than CITES requirements for the purpose of combating smuggling, which was rampant when the Ordinance was first enacted in 1976.
3. The Ordinance has earlier been identified by the CITES Secretariat as not fully meeting the requirements of CITES in respect of control over international trade in medicines made from endangered species. Although we have previously amended Schedule 5 to the
Note 1 Appendix I: Species threatened with extinction which are or may be affected by trade. Appendix II: Species which, although not necessarily now threatened with extinction, may become so unless trade in specimens of such species is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival; and other species which must be subject to regulation in order that trade in specimens of certain species referred to above may be brought under effective control. Appendix III: Species which any Party to CITES identifies as being subject to regulation within its jurisdiction for the purpose of preventing or restricting exploitation, and as needing the co-operation of other Parties in the control of trade. Ordinance to control medicines made from highly endangered animal species, i.e. CITES Appendix I animal species, we still need to amend the main Ordinance in order to align our control regime with the requirements in CITES in respect of control over international trade in medicines made from other endangered species, i.e. CITES Appendix I plant species and all CITES Appendices II and III species.
4. The Conference of the Parties to CITES (“COP”) meets every two years to review the species listed in the Appendices to the Convention and the related controls. Following the last COP meeting held in October 2004, we need to update the scheduled species to bring them in line with the latest CITES requirements.
5. Since the enactment of the Ordinance, a number of amendments have been made to take account of changes in CITES requirements. Over time, the Ordinance has become so complicated that it is not easy to comprehend. In addition, some of the control measures required under CITES have not been set out clearly in the Ordinance. The exemptions currently provided for different scheduled species also vary considerably. We need to remove inconsistent treatments which are not justified on operational grounds. In addition, with the enhanced publicity and communication with the trade and the substantial increase in penalties in 1995, illegal trade in endangered species is in general under control. It is therefore possible to remove certain local controls that are over and above CITES requirements to minimize inconvenience and cost of compliance to the trade/users without compromising our obligations under CITES.
6. We have reviewed the Ordinance and propose to streamline its provisions and align them with CITES, and to improve the licensing system and the control regime. With the streamlined licensing system under which each import/introduction from the sea/ export/ re-export/possession licence would be issued on the basis of individual shipment or keeping premises rather than individual species, the fee structure also needs to be revised. We propose to simplify the fee structure by replacing the 14 existing fee items with nine new fee items. The existing fees have not been reviewed since 1997 and most of them currently recover less than 50% of the costs. Taking account of the B ultimate goal of full cost recovery and the potential impacts on the trade and other users, we propose to adopt the new fee scheme in Annex B. C The related costing figures are at Annex C. It is anticipated that most of the existing and potential licence holders will be paying less under the streamlined licensing system.
Page 2 THE BILL 7. The Bill, which replaces the Ordinance, will set out the following main requirements -
Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Bill
(a) Part 1 contains the preliminary provisions including definitions of terms. A definition of “specimen” is added to cover the relevant parts or derivatives of the scheduled species so that medicines made from them will be brought under statutory controls;
(b) Parts 2 and 3 deal with the restrictions on export, re-export, import, introduction from the sea, possession or control of all scheduled species. Following the CITES provisions, we propose to clearly set out in the legislation the control over scheduled species “introduced from the sea” instead of continuing to impose the control by classifying them as “imports” (clauses 6 and 12);
(c) Part 4 sets out the circumstances under which dealings in scheduled species are permitted, including import, possession or control of Appendix II species, except a live animal/ plant of wild origin. This will remove the existing inconsistent treatment for different species listed in the same Appendix of CITES;
(d) Part 5 deals with matters relating to licences, including the issue, extension, renewal and cancellation of licences. It creates offences for contravening licence conditions;
(e) Parts 6 and 7 provide for the enforcement powers of authorized officers and the disposal or forfeiture of things seized by authorized officers. They empower an authorized officer to enter and inspect a trading premises during reasonable hours. They also provide authorized officers including those from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD), with the power of arrest. Both measures would enhance the law enforcement power of authorized officers and the effectiveness of the control regime;
(f) Part 8 contains miscellaneous provisions. It transfers the power to determine appeals under the Ordinance from the Chief Executive to the Administrative Appeals Board. This is in line with the established practice on appeal matters. It empowers the Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works (SETW) to amend any Schedule, including the fee
Page 3 scheme, by an order published in the Gazette which is currently made by the Chief Executive in Council except those relating to the updating of the list of scheduled species (clause 48). It also empowers SETW to make regulations (clause 53);
(g) Schedule 1 sets out the lists of CITES Appendices I, II and III species that will be updated in response to changes made to CITES requirements by an order made by SETW and published in the Gazette;
(h) Schedule 2 specifies the new fee regime. It provides that each import/introduction from the sea/export/re-export/possession licence will be issued on the basis of individual shipment or keeping premises rather than individual species; and
(i) Schedule 3 sets out the requirements or recommendations that are contained in resolutions, decisions and notifications in relation to CITES and applicable to Hong Kong. These are mainly technical details of the control measures.
D 8. The existing Ordinance is at Annex D.
LEGISLATIVE TIMETABLE 9. The legislative timetable is -
Publication in the Gazette 15 April 2005
First Reading and 27 April 2005 commencement of Second Reading debate
Resumption of Second Reading To be notified debate, Committee Stage and Third Reading
IMPLICATIONS OF THE PROPOSAL 10. The proposal has economic, financial and civil service E implications as set out at Annex E.
11. The proposal is in conformity with the Basic Law, including the provisions concerning human rights. The Bill will have the same binding effect as the existing Ordinance. The proposal has no environmental and productivity implications. It has no significant sustainability implications.
Page 4 PUBLIC CONSULTATION 12. AFCD has consulted the Endangered Species Advisory Committee (comprising academics and representatives from the trade) and representatives of the trade (including those from traditional Chinese medicine, floral, pet and leather trade groups) on the legislative proposals including the new fee scheme. The Endangered Species Protection Liaison Group (comprising representatives of law enforcement authorities, including the Customs and the Police, and local green groups) has also been consulted on the legislative proposals. They support the proposals as the Bill will simplify the existing licensing requirements and reduce the types of fees payable. They have no strong views on the proposed fee levels. The Panel on Environmental Affairs of the Legislative Council was consulted in November 2004. Members in general supported the legislative proposals, in particular those relating to the streamlining of the statutory provisions and the licensing system. A few Members expressed concerns about the impact of the control regime on the trade, enforcement difficulties in respect of medicines made from endangered species, and the possible impact of the proposed exemptions on protection of endangered species.
PUBLICITY 13. A press release will be issued on 13 April 2005. A spokesman will be available to handle enquiries.
BACKGROUND 14. CITES aims to regulate international trade in endangered species to protect wildlife from over exploitation or extinction. It requires control over the import and export of the species listed in its three Appendices, including their readily recognizable parts and derivatives. Under the Convention, international trade in Appendix I species for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. Export and import of these species are only permitted in certain circumstances, e.g. for exhibitions, with both a valid export (or re-export) permit and import permit. International trade in Appendices II and III species on the other hand requires only a valid export (or re-export) permit.
15. The Ordinance was enacted in 1976 to give effect to CITES in Hong Kong. Its SchedulesNote 2 specify the endangered species
Note 2 Schedule 1 lists the animal species. Schedule 2 lists the animal parts and derivatives. Schedule 3 lists the plant species. Schedule 5 lists the animal species contained in “controlled medicine”, which currently cover all animals species specified in the Sixth Schedule. The Sixth Schedule lists all CITES Appendix I species, including both animals and plants. Page 5 including their parts and derivatives which are listed in the Appendices to CITES.
ENQUIRY 16. Any enquiry on this brief should be directed to Mr Eric Chan, Assistant Director of Environmental Protection (Conservation) (telephone number: 2594 6036).

CONVENTION INSTRUMENTS
This Schedule sets out, with or without modification, the relevant parts of Convention instruments that have the force of law in Hong Kong.
PART 1
INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION
I. “Hybrid animal” (雜交動物)
1. Hybrid animals that have in their recent lineage one or more specimens of species included in Appendix I or Appendix II shall be subject to the provisions of this Ordinance just as if they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not specifically included in the Appendices.
2. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix I, the hybrids shall be treated as specimens of species included in Appendix I (and shall be eligible for the exemptions of Article VII of the Convention when applicable).
3. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix II, and there are no specimens of an Appendix I species in such lineage, the hybrids shall be treated as specimens of species included in Appendix II. 116
4. The words “recent lineage” shall generally be interpreted to refer to the previous four generations of the lineage.
II. “Appropriate and acceptable destination” (適當和可接受的目的地)
Where the term “appropriate and acceptable destination” appears in an annotation to the listing of a species in Appendix II with reference to the export of or international trade in live animals, this term shall be defined to mean a destination where the relevant authority of the State of import is satisfied that the proposed recipient of a living specimen is suitably equipped to house and care for it.
III. “Artificially propagated” (人工培植)
Regarding the definition of “artificially propagated”
1. The following definitions for terms are used – (a) “under controlled conditions” means in a non-natural environment that is intensively manipulated by human intervention for the purpose of plant production. General characteristics of controlled conditions may include but are not limited to tillage, fertilization, weed and pest control, irrigation, or nursery operations such as potting, bedding or protection from weather; and (b) “cultivated parental stock” means the ensemble of plants grown under controlled conditions that are used for reproduction, and which must have been, to the satisfaction of the relevant authority of the exporting country – (i) established in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and relevant domestic laws and in 117
a manner not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild; and (ii) maintained in sufficient quantities for propagation so as to minimize or eliminate the need for augmentation from the wild, with such augmentation occurring only as an exception and limited to the amount necessary to maintain the vigour and productivity of the cultivated parental stock.
2. The term “artificially propagated” shall be interpreted to refer to plant specimens – (a) grown under controlled conditions; and (b) grown from seeds, cuttings, divisions, callus tissues or other plant tissues, spores or other propagules that either are exempt or have been derived from cultivated parental stock.
3. Plants grown from cuttings or divisions are considered to be artificially propagated only if the traded specimens do not contain any material collected from the wild.
4. An exception may be granted and specimens deemed to be artificially propagated if grown from wild-collected seeds or spores only if, for the taxon involved – (a) (i) establishment of a cultivated parental stock presents significant difficulties in practice because specimens take a long time to reach reproductive age, as for many tree species; (ii) the seeds or spores are collected from the wild and grown under controlled conditions within a range 118
state, which must also be the country of origin of the seeds or spores; (iii) the relevant authority of that range state has determined that the collection of seeds or spores was legal and consistent with relevant domestic laws for the protection and conservation of the species; and (iv) the relevant authority of that range state has determined that – (A) collection of the seeds or spores was not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild; and (B) allowing trade in such specimens has a positive effect on the conservation of wild populations; (b) at a minimum, to comply with subparagraph (a)(iv)(A) and (B) above – (i) collection of seeds or spores for this purpose is limited in such a manner such as to allow regeneration of the wild population; (ii) a portion of the plants produced under such circumstances is used to establish plantations to serve as cultivated parental stock in the future and become an additional source of seeds or spores and thus reduce or eliminate the need to collect seeds from the wild; and (iii) a portion of the plants produced under such circumstances is used for replanting in the wild, to enhance recovery of existing populations or to re- 119
establish populations that have been extirpated; and (c) in the case of operations propagating Appendix I species for commercial purposes under such conditions they are registered with the Secretariat.
Regarding grafted plants
5. Grafted plants are recognized as artificially propagated only when both the root-stock and the graft have been taken from specimens that have been artificially propagated and grafted specimens consisting of taxa from different Appendices be treated as specimens of the taxon included in the more restrictive Appendix.
Regarding hybrids
6. Hybrids shall be subject to the provisions of this Ordinance even though not specifically included in the Appendices if one or both of their parents are of taxa included in the Appendices, unless the hybrids are excluded by a specific annotation in Appendix II or Appendix III.
7. Regarding artificially propagated hybrids – (a) plant species or other taxa listed in Appendix I shall be annotated (in accordance with Article XV of the Convention) if the provisions relevant to the most restrictive Appendix are to apply; (b) if a plant species or other taxon listed in Appendix I is annotated, an export permit or re-export certificate shall be required for trade in specimens of all artificially propagated hybrids derived from it; but (c) artificially propagated hybrids derived from one or more unannotated Appendix I species or other taxa shall be 120
treated as being included in Appendix II and entitled therefore to all exemptions applicable to artificially propagated specimens of species listed in Appendix II.
Regarding flasked seedlings of Appendix I orchids
8. Flasked seedlings of orchid species listed in Appendix I obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, and transported in sterile containers, be interpreted as being exempt from the application of this Ordinance only if they have been artificially propagated in accordance with the definition provided above, taking into account the provisions of Article VII, paragraph 4, and Article I, paragraph (b)(iii), of the Convention and agreeing to a derogation from readily recognizable part or derivative for this exemption.
IV. “Bred in captivity” (圈養繁殖)
Regarding terminology
1. For specimens of animal species bred in captivity – (a) “first-generation offspring (F1)” are specimens produced in a controlled environment from parents at least one of which was conceived in or taken from the wild; (b) “offspring of second generation (F2) or subsequent generation (F3, F4, etc.)” are specimens produced in a controlled environment from parents that were also produced in a controlled environment; (c) the “breeding stock” of an operation means the ensemble of the animals in the operation that are used for reproduction; (d) “a controlled environment” is an environment that is manipulated for the purpose of producing animals of a particular species, that has boundaries designed to prevent 121
animals, eggs or gametes of the species from entering or leaving the controlled environment, and the general characteristics of which may include but are not limited to: artificial housing; waste removal; health care; protection from predators; and artificially supplied food.
Regarding the term “bred in captivity”
2. The definition provided below shall apply to the specimens bred in captivity of species included in the Appendices, whether or not they were bred for commercial purposes.
3. The term “bred in captivity” shall be interpreted to refer only to specimens born or otherwise produced in a controlled environment, and shall apply only if - (a) the parents mated or gametes were otherwise transferred in a controlled environment, if reproduction is sexual, or the parents were in a controlled environment when development of the offspring began, if reproduction is asexual; and (b) the breeding stock, to the satisfaction of the competent government authorities of the exporting country – (i) was established in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and relevant domestic laws and in a manner not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild; (ii) is maintained without the introduction of specimens from the wild, except for the occasional addition of animals, eggs or gametes, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and relevant domestic laws and in a 122
manner not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild – (A) to prevent or alleviate deleterious inbreeding, with the magnitude of such addition determined by the need for new genetic material; or (B) to dispose of confiscated animals; or (C) exceptionally, for use as breeding stock; and (iii) has produced offspring of second generation (F2) or subsequent generation (F3, F4, etc.) in a controlled environment; or is managed in a manner that has been demonstrated to be capable of reliably producing second-generation offspring in a controlled environment.
Regarding the trade in specimens of Appendix I species bred in captivity
4. The trade in a specimen bred in captivity shall be permitted only if it is marked in accordance with the provisions on marking in the Resolutions adopted by the Conference of the Parties and if the type and number of the mark are indicated on the document authorizing the trade.
V. “Commercial purposes” (商業目的)
The term “Commercial purposes” means a purpose of obtaining profit or other economic benefit (whether in cash or in kind) and directed towards resale, exchange, provision of a service or other form of economic use or benefit, whether direct or indirect. 123
VI. “Readily recognizable part or derivative” (可輕易地識別的部分或衍生物)
1. The term “readily recognizable part or derivative” shall be interpreted to include any specimen which appears from an accompanying document, the packaging or a mark or label, or from any other circumstances, to be a part or derivative of an animal or plant of a species included in the Appendices, unless such part or derivative is specifically exempted from the provisions of this Ordinance.
2. All products of ranching operations shall be considered to be readily recognizable.
3. Importing Parties that require that the Convention export permits or re- export certificates accompany imports of parts and derivatives will not waive that requirement when such parts and derivatives are not considered to be readily recognizable by the exporting or re-exporting Party.
4. Coral sand and coral fragments are not considered readily recognizable and are therefore not covered by the provisions of this Ordinance.
5. For the different forms of corals, the following definition is adopted – (a) Coral sand – material consisting entirely or in part of finely crushed fragments of dead coral no larger than 2 mm in diameter and which may also contain, amongst other things, the remains of Foraminifera, mollusc and crustacean shell, and coralline algae. Not identifiable to the level of genus. (b) Coral fragments (including gravel and rubble) – unconsolidated fragments of broken finger-like dead coral and other material between 2 and 30 mm in diameter, which is not identifiable to the level of genus. 124
(c) Coral rock (also live rock and substrate) – hard consolidated material, >3 cm in diameter, formed of fragments of dead coral and which may also contain cemented sand, coralline algae and other sedimentary rocks. “Live rock” is the term given to pieces of coral rock to which are attached live specimens of invertebrate species and coralline algae not included in the Appendices and which are transported moist, but not in water, in crates. “Substrate” is the term given to pieces of coral rock to which are attached invertebrates (of species not included in the Appendices) and which are transported in water like live corals. Coral rock is not identifiable to the level of genus but is recognizable to the level of order. The definition excludes specimens defined as dead coral. (d) Dead coral – pieces of coral that are dead when exported, but that may have been alive when collected, and in which the structure of corallites (the skeleton of the individual polyp) is still intact; specimens are therefore identifiable to the level of species or genus. (e) Live coral – pieces of live coral transported in water and that are identifiable to the level of species or genus.

7 Annex E
Implications of the Proposal
FINANCIAL AND CIVIL SERVICE IMPLICATIONS
Under the Bill, the existing licensing system will be streamlined. The number of licences required by the traders and the public is expected to decrease. It is anticipated that the resultant reduction in the revenue generated from the licence fees will be about two million dollars a year. The staff resources required in processing the licence will also decrease accordingly. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department will deploy the resources released from processing licence applications, which is roughly estimated to be about a total of 2000 man hour, to step up the related enforcement, education and publicity works.
ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS
2. The legislative proposals will streamline the licensing requirements in relation to import, export, re-export and possession/control of endangered species, thus facilitating trade in endangered species while not affecting the effectiveness of our control regime. The trade in general will benefit from the proposals but it is not expected the trade volume of endangered species will increase noticeably. Therefore, the proposals will result in positive economic implications, though such implications may not be significant.
